If you’re itching to wear your one-piece swimsuit,  you don’t have to wait until you can rock it at the pool or on the beach. Let your one-piece go the extra mile–and start styling it into swimsuit outfits for spring and summer! We styled out five ways you can disguise your one-piece swimsuit as a bodysuit. The key to avoiding looking like you stepped off the beach in your wet bathing suit: Style your one-piece with non-beachwear and accessories

1. Boho Babe

It’s no secret that denim shorts pair well with your swimsuit, hell, that’s most of our go-to looks, but if you want to switch it up, try rocking a one-piece with jeans. Pairing high-waisted jeans with the plunging neckline of this yellow swimsuit screams sexy and sophisticated. This is a great look that you can easily transition from day-to-night by swapping some sandals for wedges

Pair with:

Shop the Look: Get it Right Mustard Yellow Halter One Piece Swimsuit, True Classic Dark Wash Paper Bag Waist Wide-Leg Cropped Jeans, Ayama Transparent and Natural Lace-Up Espadrille Wedges, Forever Roaming Multi Striped Woven Fringe Clutch

2. Rainbow Brite

Go bold or go home! A strapless one-piece is great for avoiding tan lines and is also the perfect canvas for flaunting some killer statement earrings. Play up the bright color and playful tie on this swimsuit with a flowy floral skirt and square-toe green sandals.  

Pair with:

Shop the Look: Sun and Done Orange Strapless One-Piece Swimsuit, Ruf-Full of Love Blue Floral Print Ruffled Mini Skirt, Aliana Light Green Lizard-Embossed Strappy High Heel Sandals, New Moon Brushed Gold Earrings

3. Chic AF

Mix it up with a cutout one-piece and striped pants. Since this swimsuit outfit is a little more exposing, finish it off with a pair of glam flat sandals to dial it down a notch!

Pair with:

Shop the Look: Los Cabos Black Strappy Cutout One-Piece Swimsuit, Girlie Black Cat-Eye Sunglasses, Ramon Black and White Striped Culotte Pants, Syden Nude Vinyl Slide Sandals

4. All Wrapped Up

Yes, we believe that leopard print is a neutral that deserves to be worn as often as possible. The rosy tones in this one-piece pairs really well with the green wrap skirt. Accessories like sleek slides and a knotted headband help easily disguise this swimsuit as a bodysuit.

Pair with:

Shop the Look: Rose Beige Leopard Print One-Piece Swimsuit, Ayla Sage Green Tie-Front Mini Skirt, Markiee Nude Patent Crocodile-Embossed Slide SandalsCrowning Achievement Mauve Knotted Headband

5. Sweet and Sexy

You might not pair your swimsuit with a pair of stilettos, but your bodysuit? Yes–yes, you will. The bold red in this one-piece and laid back denim play nicely with sexy strappy sandals. Try layering a few necklaces to help accentuate the scalloped edging of this swimsuit. 

Pair with:

Shop the Look: Shell Yeah Red Scalloped One-Piece Swimsuit, Touch of Luxe 14k Gold Rhinestone Layered Necklace Set, Nico High Rise Light Wash Distressed Skinny Jeans, Marc Almond Lace-Up Heels,
